Everything about La Rtes totally explained
In
Greek mythology,
Laërtes (
Greek: Λαέρτης) was the son of
Arcesius and
Chalcomedusa. He was father of
Odysseus (who was thus called Λαερτιάδης) and
Ctimene by his wife
Anticlea, daughter of the thief
Autolycus. Laërtes was an
Argonaut and participated in the hunt for the
Calydonian Boar. Laërtes' title was King of the
Cephallenians, which he presumably inherited from his father Arcesius and grandfather
Cephalus. His realm included
Ithaca and surrounding islands, and perhaps the neighboring part of the mainland.
Another version of the story says that he wasn't Odysseus' real father, and that
Sisyphus, who had seduced Anticlea, was.
It was Laërtes who trained Odysseus in husbandry. After Odysseus and
Telemachus routed the suitors that had been threatening his wife,
Penelope, some of the suitors' surviving relatives confronted them.
Athena infused vigor into Laértes, so he could help Odysseus by killing
Eupeithes, father of
Antinous. In
Robert Fitzgerald's
translation of the
Odyssey,
Odysseus refers to him as
King Allwoes.
